IBM 6500 manual Using ARP

Using ARP

2.Find the Ethernet address for the Ethernet Interface by printing a configuration or reading it from the control panel. It must be entered as part of this procedure.

3.Use the arp command to add an entry into the Unix station ARP table for this Ethernet Interface. Here is the most common syntax for this command:

arp -s <ipaddress> <ethernetaddress>

Example for Microsoft TCP stacks:

arp -s 192.75.11.9 00:80:72:07:00:60

This example specifies an Ethernet Interface using IP address

192.75.11.9 and Ethernet address 00:80:72:07:00:60.

4.Verify that the ARP entry was properly applied. arp -a

You should see an entry in the listed ARP table with the IP address and Ethernet address specified in step 3.

5.Try to ping this IP address to see if the Ethernet Interface can be seen on your network.

At this point, you should be able to communicate with the Ethernet Interface from your local Unix station. This means the printer knows about an IP address and subnet mask and has these settings in its current memory. However, if the Ethernet Interface is shut off, these settings will be lost unless you store them in flash memory, as follows:

1.Start a Web browser on your local station and direct it to the URL: http://EthernetInterfaceIPaddress/ networkConf.html

(e.g., http://192.75.11.9/networkConf.html).

NOTE: If prompted for a “User ID” and password first, type in root for the ID and press ENTER at the password prompt (since there is no default password).

2.At the “Network Configuration” HTML form that displays, click in the field below the “IP Address” heading and type in the IP address for the Ethernet Interface.
